Ante sus absurdas minimizaciones ("son una minoría ridícula" o " las bajas civiles son las menos"), en primer lugar debería darle VERGÜENZA no saber que la vida de un ser querido, principalmente si son niñ@s o jóvenes que no tienen qué ver con la delincuencia organizada de los narcos o del ejército, no es solo una "perdida lamentable", un "daño colateral", sino lo es todo. Vidas que empiezan y padres que ven cómo, con impunidad aterradora, son asesinados por los delincuentes o por el ejército. Fuerza bruta y fuerza más bruta. Como le dijo la madre agraviada en Ciudad Juárez, madre de dos estudiantes masacrados junto con otros 17, ¿diría lo mismo si se tratara de los suyos?.
Pero no nos preocupamos realmente, pues es un problema de percepción, ¿verdad?.
Fue una percepción la balacera y muertes en la costera de Acapulco. La gente en Cuernavaca, por la percepción, ya no visitan ni restaurantes ni antros. También lo es la caída económica de la zona fronteriza, toda ella, según lo que declaran los desorientados hoteleros. No, lo que pasa es que no vemos la realidad, ¿no?: le vamos ganando a los delincuentes y están desesperados, aunque la cara del Mayo Zambada nos diga otra cosa.
Ya bastante entrado en la tercera edad, puedo decir que jamás había visto un régimen tan parecido, pero más autoritario y despiadado, que el del gorila Díaz Ordaz; parece que, además de la tragedia de su "guerra" sin inteligencia y solo enlodando al ejército (que ya no quiere seguir en las calles) disfrazado de policía, nada le sale bien, o nada hace bien: Procampo, Seguro Popular, una buena reforma energética, otra laboral, otra fiscal, y no las contrarreformas que solo entregan al país y a la sociedad a sumisión y más desigualdad económica. En verdad, ¿algo hace usted bien?. ¿No le da pena que sus secretarios mientan con el desparpajo que lo hacen y manoseen las estadísticas ante lo que vivimos todos los días de desempleo, de sueldos de miseria (la oferta está cañona y la demanda escasa y abusiva). No se diga la inseguridad al nivel de rapiña en las calles, bolsas de mujeres, automóviles, cosas personales que arrebatan quienes delinquen por hambre o marginación e ignorancia. Seguridad, educación, salud....ésos son los pilares de una sociedad sana. Quienes no saben hacer nada o casi nada, se convierten en correos de narcos, en narcomenudistas o adictos. ¿No es un gobierno así el que propicia el Estado fallido?.
Renuncie, C. Calderón Hinojosa. Por el bien de México.
Vea lo que escriben de nuestro fallido país desde el influyente (a nivel mundial) periódico The New York Times:
Noemi, who fears reprisal if her identity is revealed, fled El Porvenir with her daughter Alicia, 1, and her four other children.FORT HANCOCK, Tex. — The giant rusty fence of metal bars along the border here, built in recent years to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States, has a new nickname among local residents: Jurassic Park Gate, a nod to the barrier in a 1993 movie that kept dangerous dinosaurs at bay in a theme park.
On the other side, a brutal war between drug gangs has forced dozens of fearful families from the Mexican town of El Porvenir to come to the border seeking political asylum, and scores of other Mexicans have used special visas known as border-crossing cards to flee into the United States. They say drug gangs have laid waste to their town, burning down houses and killing people in the street.
Americans are taking in their Mexican relatives, and the local schools have swelled with traumatized children, many of whom have witnessed gangland violence, school officials say.
“It’s very hard over there,” said Vicente Burciaga, 23, who fled El Porvenir a month ago with his wife, Mayra, and their infant son after gang members burned down five homes in their neighborhood and killed a neighbor. “They are killing people over there who have nothing to do with drug trafficking,” he said. “They kill you just for having seen what they are doing.”
The story of Fort Hancock, 57 miles southeast of El Paso on the Rio Grande, is echoed along the Texas border with Mexico, from Brownsville to El Paso. As the violence among drug gangs continues to spiral out of control in Mexico, more Mexican citizens are seeking refuge in the United States.
The influx of people fleeing the violence, some of whom were involved in drug dealing in Mexico, has disrupted Fort Hancock’s peaceful rhythms. These days, there are more police cars prowling the dusty streets, and fear runs high among residents.
The town has only a few paved streets, one restaurant near Interstate 10, a feed store, a small grocery, a gas station and a couple of general stores. Irrigation canals carry water from the Rio Grande to alfalfa and chili fields, set amid the cactus, sand and mesquite of the Chihuahuan Desert.
About 2,000 people live here, in ramshackle trailer homes, weather-battered recreational vehicles and well-kept brick houses. The water tower boasts of the high school’s six-man football team having won the state championship five times between 1986 and 1991.
A few children among the refugees belong to families involved in the drug trade, and rival gang members have threatened them, bringing the specter of gangland killings to the high school, law enforcement and school officials say.
“Some of the families who are fleeing from Mexico are doing it because they were somehow participating in these acts,” said Jose G. Franco, the school superintendent, “and if you want to get at somebody, you get at their children.”
The Hudspeth County Sheriff’s Department and the state police are keeping a close eye on unknown vehicles parked near the schools. The school district has for the first time hired a law enforcement officer to patrol its three campuses and has installed security cameras. Spectators are now barred from football and basketball practices.
“The kids are a little bit on edge, you know,” said Constable Jose Sierra, who patrols the schools. “When we see a different car, we start to get phone calls.”
Not everyone coming from El Porvenir is seeking asylum. Many Mexicans in towns along the river have special border-crossing cards, which let them cross for up to 30 days to do business and shop near the border. But some have used the visas to relocate their families temporarily to Fort Hancock and other small towns on the Texas side.
Those who have temporary tourist visas or who can obtain business visas because they have enough money to start businesses in the United States are also moving their families across the border. (Cities like El Paso and San Antonio have had real estate booms and a flourishing of small businesses and Mexican restaurants as a result.)
Other Mexicans who were once happy living in Mexico are taking advantage of whatever means they have to obtain a visa and get out. Some were born in a hospital on the United States side and are American citizens, for instance, or have married citizens but have never applied for residency.
In El Paso alone, the police estimate that at least 30,000 Mexicans have moved across the border in the past two years because of the violence in Juárez and the river towns to the southeast. So many people have left El Porvenir and nearby Guadalupe Bravos that the two resemble ghost towns, former residents say.
